- Included Heat Shrink Tubing — Each pair comes with heat shrink protection that insulates your connections and provides a professional, tidy appearance whilst protecting against accidental shorts and environmental contamination that could damage your RC model's electrical system.
- Five Pairs Per Pack — With five complete connector pairs included, you have ample stock for multiple repairs, upgrades, or new builds without needing to purchase multiple packs for a single project or maintenance session.
- Straightforward Installation — Designed by Radient for easy installation, these connectors require no specialised tools or advanced knowledge, making them suitable for experienced builders and those new to RC customisation alike.

Technical Performance
The Radient 3.5mm Gold Connector Pairs represent professional-grade electrical components engineered for optimal performance in demanding RC applications. The gold plating is not merely cosmetic—it provides substantial practical benefits including reduced contact resistance, improved conductivity, and enhanced resistance to oxidation and corrosion that can develop over time with repeated connections and disconnections. In RC applications where every millivolt matters for maximum motor performance and ESC efficiency, maintaining clean, low-resistance connections is absolutely critical. The included heat shrink tubing ensures that once installed, your connections remain secure and protected from moisture, dust, and accidental contact that could cause shorts or performance degradation. These connectors are manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure snug, reliable fits that won't loosen or become unreliable during aggressive driving or racing. Whether you're connecting to brushless motors, ESCs, batteries, or other electrical components in your RC car UK setup, these connectors deliver the build quality and reliability that Radient is recognised for throughout the RC hobby.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these connectors suitable for brushless RC motors and ESCs? — Yes, the 3.5mm gold connector size is widely used across the RC hobby for connecting brushless motors, electronic speed controllers (ESCs), and battery packs. The gold-plated finish ensures optimal conductivity for these high-current applications, making them ideal for both electric RC cars and performance-oriented setups.
- Can I use these connectors for new RC builds or just repairs? — These connectors are equally suitable for new builds and repairs. Whether you're assembling a ready to run RC model from scratch, upgrading connectors on an existing vehicle, or performing maintenance on your current setup, this five-pair pack provides ample stock for your needs.
- What does the heat shrink tubing do? — The included heat shrink tubing insulates the connector joint once installed, protecting your electrical connections from moisture, dust, and accidental shorts. After soldering or crimping the connector, you simply slide the heat shrink over the joint and apply gentle heat to create a sealed, protective coating that maintains connection integrity and improves the overall appearance of your build.
- Is this pack suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The 3.5mm gold connectors are straightforward to install and represent a manageable entry point for anyone learning to customise or repair their RC models. However, soldering or crimping skills are required—if you're new to these techniques, we recommend learning these fundamental RC skills before tackling connector installation.
- How many connector pairs do I get? — This pack includes five complete 3.5mm gold connector pairs, each with accompanying heat shrink tubing. This quantity provides excellent value for money and ensures you have spares available for multiple projects or repairs without needing to purchase additional packs.
- Are these connectors compatible with my RC car? — If your RC car UK model uses 3.5mm connectors for motor, ESC, or battery connections, these Radient gold connectors are compatible. Check your vehicle's documentation or existing connectors to confirm the size before purchasing. 3.5mm is one of the most common sizes in modern RC applications.
